    dj, fished it a few years ago....quit going there. Its a watershed lake....2 upper lakes feed Sugema. !st year there did fair on crappies...avg 9-10"....It's a flooded timber...be ready to get stuck on stumps that you don't see....2nd year there weather wasn't very cooperative....no crappies and few bluegills...had better luck in one of the upper lakes...3rd year there same as second....Said the hell with it and stay in Illinois now....If you do go and fish it theres a little town about 7 miles south call Mt. Sterling....Besides the few homes there, there is a little watering hole called AJ's ...food is outstanding....It's worth the drive just to go there and eat....Good people and real pleasant....Just don't get caught out back in the trailer with AJ...

    Other than ajs tt don't know what he's talking about. The lake is a good crappie lake just like any other. Good luck.. Watch out for Mitch
    And with that, I'll see you on the water...

    Not sure what Tom is talking about. We always did good at the lake. May have lost an anchor or two.
